MISCELLANY.

JVTEMPERAXCE. I gazed upon the tattered garb, 4 Of one who stood a listener by; the hand of misiry pressed hirn hard, And tiars of iorrow iwell'd his eye. I gazid upon bis palled cheek, And askid how his cares began He sighed, and thus assayed io sptatr, " The cause of all coy gt'ef 8 bum.'' watched a miniac through a gate, Whose raviogs shook me to the soul: And aked what sealed his wretched fate, Hie answer was the cursed bowl. I ask'd a convict ia bis chains, While tears along his cheek did roll, What devil urged hioj on to crimes: His answer was the cursed botvl. I asked a murderer when the ropo Hung round his neck in death's hard roll; Bereft of pardon and of hope, His answer reas the Bowing bowl. Selected FROM THE DESK Of POOR ROBERT, THE SCRIBE.

There is a pleasant little village which stands cn the borders of a small lake, in the western part of Connecticut. A tavern, the only one in the towo, kept at the sign of the Grey Gooe, entertained the passing stranger, and in the winter evenings was the j lace where we held oar evening dances for old Robert used to dance in his younger days. I remember well the merry evenings I havsj enjoyed there, and me thinks 1 could yt 'lire down" the puny striplings of the present day.

Being When I saw Aosolem last, before mvicn a visit c,,e daJ" at the ho0sc of one of late visit to Appiebt;rry it was his birth :ms parishioners a poor lonely widow, and wedding night. Just 23 years old; llvlnS in a moorland part of the parishhe had married black eyed Susan, as we!r L- became fascinated by the called her and she might as well have: channs ot a little cast iron pot, which been calleJ red lipM Susn, for I never;h?4PPen8i at thc tilne to be standing on saw cherries reder. He had taken j tlie dearth full of potatoes for the poor the shop for himself and having got aiwoman,s diner, and that of her chiljo;:rfryman from New York, fcad added jdrGIJ- He had never in his life seen

the mating oi chaises to this old business. Absoium was industrious Absolem wras frugal above all, Absolem was ,'tvEirr.RATe ''Grog and 1," he used to sa"are sworn enemies." Not but now and tfct'he would take a glass of wine. or a mug of flip with a friend; but he dronk sparingly. They do say, though, that one fourth of July his eyes sparkled a little, and he could not say Sheboleth for the soul of him. But that's neither here nor there; he wras a sober man. And what do you think was the consequence? Whj-, when 1 went to Appleberry, last October, who should I hear them talk of but the grod 'Squire Active and Deacon Active Why he has aaoney to lend he owns two of the best farms on the south side of the lake the poor all bless him. He now rides in his coach on which is painted a Bee, an Ant, aud a glass up side dozen, with this motta "Industry Frugality Temperance. By these I ride" Edward Easy, my, other companion, received iVom his father a fortune of five thousand pounds. A t the age of nineteen ii toA: his degree at Yale with singular honor. The profession of the law suiting be:-t his capacity and inclination, he studied thi cience under the most approved masters, and at twenty-one he appeared at the bar. I npver shall forget the day when he made his first plea. All Applet rry wentdown to hear him, fir Ed.vard as a (avorite of the people: v-.nd fci'l he might be, for there was'nt a ringbone in the village but coutd tell of a a f . I 1 1 ime go. ! sinw tiling he nac done. The r;;'.'i h plead was for a poor tt' J -v w; r kpn. Ywu may remember her r. - ci firs. R; gors wb sold giu- ; r -v, and h?er ; cV.h of the r?:vj'::r ouse.

Wei:, ,fic court was opo-juod; tho witr.escf- txmiiifd; and it rome to Edward's tuu to seok. He rose; O! be was a t'.uidsome mai ,but now he look'd pale ; bis lip trembled ; .and his whit? hai.d shook. My heart trembled fj fear he would not go on. Bv-and-bye hi voice rose; his cheeks resumed their color he raised hU arms most graceiully,and his eta sparkled. You might have hard a pin fall. He, in one mrnett, did stir up the feelings so against the hardhearted landlord, that ever one was in a rage. Asd then he paiii ted the sufferings of the widow and or phais. In spite of me I cried like ,n rhild. I never loved him half so well it my life. Our parsorj I remember, said

that "the oil of eloquence ras on hie lougue, and the honey of persuasion distilled from his lips." I left him on the eve of being married to Eunice Heartfree. . She was worthy of him she sung sweetly: could spin fifty knots a day, and the parson's wife was heard to say that "she made the

toest pudding of any in the village, ex cept nerseu." Now, until the fourth day of last October, I had not been to Appleberry for eighteen years. Just as the old town clock struck 4, I entered the village. My heart fluttered. I looked around, in hopes to meet the welcome of my friend. A gloom and solemn stillness seemed to pervade the village. Presently the bell tolled afuneral procession approached. I alighted at the Inn, and immediately! inquired who was dead? "Alas! the day!" exclaimed the tavern-keeper, (who did

udid not know me,) "(here goes thei(ne !ibnt ol nature? What was to be

Lanarkshire, (who died!b7tronS and imminent peril to exhibit

within the present century,) was one cf those unhanpy persons, who, to use the

words of a well known Scottish adage,!h:ivc bcen ex?ed frcm thror v'liat

'Dear sake! minister,' caid the widow, quite overpowered bv the reverend man's commendation of hr pot; 'if ye like the pot sac well as a' lUi I 1 Ml 1 L A -J 1 il mai, i ueu ye 11 : me sena ri io me

'Oh1.' said the minister; 'lean by no meins permit you to le at so much trouble. Since you are so good as to give me the pot Til carry it home with me in my hand. I'm so much taken with it, indeed, that I would really prefer to carry it myself.' After much altercation between the minister aid the widow on this deiicate point of politeness, it was agreed that he should carry home thc pot himself. Off, then he trudged, bearing this curious little culinary article alternately in his hand and under his arm, as seemed most convenient to him." Unfoitunately the day was warm, the way long, and the minister fat; so that he became heartily tired of his burden before he got half way home. Under these div trefsingcircumetances,it struck him, that if, initead of carrying the pot awkwardly upon one side of his person, he were to carrv it on his head, the hnrrfon would be greatly lightened, the priuci l l 1 t 1 1 1 pi?s ol natural pnuosopny, whicri he had learned at college, informing him that when a load presses directly and immediately upon anr object, it is far less onerous than when it hangs at the remote end of a lever. Accordingly, dofling Ins hat, which he resolved to carry home in his hand, and having appliei his handkerchief to his brow, he clapped the pot in an inverted fashion upon his head, where, as the reader may suppose it figured much like Membrino,s helmet upon ihe crazed capital of Don Quixote, only a great deal more magnificent in shape and dimensions. There was at first much relief and much comfort in this new mode of carrying the pot; but mark the result. The unfortunate minister, having taken a by patb to escape observation, fouud himself, when still a good way from home, under the nccessitj of leaping over a ditch, which inter cepted him in passing from one field to another. lie jumped; but surely no jump was ever taken so completely in, or at least into the dark, as this. The concussion given to his persoo in des cending, caused the helmet to become

mange. It'sakindo7 orra Isupertluotis ! 4 -7 j o.. pot vrV us; for we've a bigger ane, thatl;c"ni,ta11c? ot t 10 r,'l$' i:i Ui'J v' '' d

a hood; the pot slipped down over his face, and resting with its rim upon his neck, stuck fast there: enclosing his whole head as completely as ever that of a new born child was enclosed by the filmy bag with which nature, as an indication of future, good fortune sometimes invests the noodles of her favorite offspring. What was worst of all, the nose, which had permitted the pot to flip down over it, withstood every attempt on the part of the proprietor, to make it slip back again; the contracted part, or neck o( the patera, being of such a peculiar formation as to cling fast to the base of the nose, although it had found no

difficulty in gliding along its hynothenuso. Was ever minister in a worse plight? Was there ever contre terns so unlucky?
